Do not panic. It's extremely easy to tell a real CJ from a fake once you know what to look for. This is from a Frank Ward post from ~10 years ago:
"Another characteristic of all real Cracker Jack cards is that there is no white ink on the cards. The white or light parts of the uniform is the natural paper color. Most fakes have a white ink for the white parts of uniform, that doesnt match the white border of the card. Real cards will have the uniform blend perfectly into the white border where they meet."
Every fake fails this test, including the ones shown here.
